...I just hope he's wrong about his old impression that Luke would become a hermit living in an igloo with a couple of robots once Leia turned out to be his sister... It's a big galaxy, Luke! And you KNOW the Force runs strong in your family, so there's no reason not to go out & get hitched & have a whole passel of younglings of your own.

Think about it like this: another Luke-like figure, Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender, kinda seemed like he'd be a lonely hermit. It's in his design, the whole Buddhist-monk look. He finishes up the series with Katara, as pretty much everyone figured... and The Legend of Korra shows that Aang had a few kids of his own, and at least his Airbender son ALSO had a bunch of kids. There's no real reason for Luke to NOT have kids.

At least we now know that they will not recast the original cast's roles.

I know this is off topic but, Aang and Tenzin pretty much had to have a bunch of kids to repopulate the Air Nation, but I get what you're saying. It would be kind of a bummer if he didn't have any kids.

"Hamill, 61, says he's intrigued about where the new trilogy could go but says he knows nothing about the storyline: "I probably learn more from Entertainment Tonight than I do directly from Lucasfilm"
